Interesting things are happening in the Fifth Circuit case involving silencers, USA v Peterson. A three-judge panel ruled that silencers were not “arms” as defined by the text of the Second Amendment.
Peterson and his attorneys have asked the case be reheard in an en banc review. The Fifth Circuit has been reasonably diligent in its Second Amendment cases, so an en banc (review by the whole court) has a good chance of reversing the three-judge panel. The Peterson case appears to be seriously considered by the Fifth Circuit. The court has sent a request to the parties involved to send a response on to the Appellant’s Petition. The request for response was sent on March 7, 2025.

You could always use a pillow like in ‘Columbo’. Pillows are the best murder weapon. Whether it’s to completely silence a handgun to the head or to smother someone in their sleep in seconds, you sure can’t beat a pillow. My Pillow should use that in ads.
“My Pillow should use that in ads.”
LOL! That’s a really good idea. Mike with his cross and murder paraphernalia.
A trigger is not an “arm.” A lead casting is not an arm... You can see where this is going. A rifle is not a weapon unless it is carried against the shoulder from which it will be fired with both hands squarely holding the firearm.
We need to know which fifth circuit judges wrote this and find out which family members are on the grift. It is the question every single time.
Be careful. There may be spies among us that will encouraged to ban pillows. Lol

Soon the blue states will be requiring pillows to be registered and they will be creating “No Pillow Zones” for schools. And anyone caught carrying a concealed pillow in the nation’s capitol will be declared an insurrectionist.
But don’t worry, a group of people will soon be forming the National Pillow Association which will help save our God given right to bear pillows.
When pillows are outlawed, only outlaws will get a good night’s sleep.

Circuit Judges.
Jennifer Walker Elrod, Chief Judge
Looks like a 3 to 0 opinion.
We are cursed by statist Dubya judges.
The chief judge is a Dubya stooge, and one of the other Dubya judges stooged out on this 3 to 0 decision.
If it’s not “an arm” then it ought not to be regulated and require registration and payment to a firearm agency. Right? Or does ATF need to know if I shop at AutoZone?
This didn’t age well.
